ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in California

California's Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, covers ABA therapy for eligible children with an autism diagnosis. The state also has an autism insurance mandate requiring many private health plans to cover ABA. This means families in Sonoma County often have coverage through both public and private insurance.

We work with providers that accept Medi-Cal and major private insurers. When you use our free matching service, we'll help you find providers in Sonoma County that take your specific plan. No more calling around-we do the legwork.

In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Sonoma County

ABA therapy in Sonoma County is available in multiple settings to fit your family's needs. In-home therapy allows your child to learn in a familiar environment, while center-based programs offer structured social opportunities with peers. Telehealth ABA is also an option for families in rural areas or with busy schedules.

Providers in Santa Rosa, Petaluma, and other Sonoma County cities offer these choices. Whether you prefer the comfort of home or a dedicated clinic, our matching service can connect you with providers that offer the setting that works best for your child.

What to look for in an ABA provider

When choosing an ABA provider in Sonoma County, look for Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) who supervise therapy. Ask about their experience with your child's age and needs, and whether they offer parent training. A good provider will create a personalized plan and communicate regularly with your family.

Also check if the provider accepts your insurance and offers the setting (home, center, or telehealth) you prefer. Our free service vets providers for these qualities, so you can feel confident in your match.
